COLLEGE HISTORY

Ruwanpura National College of Education was established in 2000 as a premier institution in Wellandura Kahawatta. Since its inception, Ruwanpura NCOE has contributed significantly to the national education system by producing thousands of highly qualified teachers. Initially, it offered pre-service teacher training programs in various disciplines such as primary education and social sciences.

As Information Communication Technology became an integral part of the school curriculum, Ruwanpura NCOE initiated specialized training programs for IT teachers. Over the years, the college evolved its curriculum, discontinuing social science courses and transferring them to other National Colleges of Education equipped to offer such programs. Subsequently, in 2009, the college introduced a dedicated ICT Education course.

Presently, Ruwanpura NCOE offers pre-service teacher education courses in ICT in English medium and primary education in Sinhala medium. This strategic approach ensures that the college meets the diverse needs of aspiring educators across different language mediums.
